KAIROS is a multi-protocol repeater that implements all mo-demodulation and filtering processes via software by a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), following the “soft radio” concept. This technique provides repeatability, perfect matching among repeaters, and can handle different types of protocols, depending on the incoming type of signal.

It is designed for infrastructure applications where radio frequency pollution is a well-known issue: KAIROS’ excellent resistance to adjacent channels and blocking, its noiseless transmitter, and soft diversity reception reduce in-field problems, thus providing excellent coverage and clean communications.

A new project is started: one weather cam stand-alone with an XiaoMi YI action camera. This action camera has a Linux inside, fully customizable, wifi connection, telnet connection possibility. With some simple mods can be used as weather cam.

Now is in test stage, it has been placed outside with its waterproof case.

IR0UGN-8 is a PSKmail server on 10.148MHz (10.147 Dial). PSKmail is a narrow band arq system for use by amateur radio hams via short wave (HF) communication. It does not use a special controller, you just need a computer with a sound card. Pskmail is predestined for emergency communications. Even if the local internet is down, the long range on HF guarantees a connection to the internet. And it is child's play to set up an ad hoc server.

TwoMODE-S/ADS-B 1090MHz receivers have been activated. They are contributing to the FlightRadar24 community. Mode-S is a Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) technique that is very accurate and provides pilots and air trafficcontrollers with common air situational awareness for enhanced safety, capacity and efficiency.ADS-B is a system in which electronic equipment onboard an aircraft automatically broadcasts the precise location of the aircraft via a digital data link.

Now the telescope is fully controlled from the house and can be also controlled with a Team Viewer connection everywhere on Internet. It's also possible to check the movements with an infrared camera.

In the weather & sky page you can find the data coming from the Sky Quality Meter. If you're planning to come in Scandriglia to do astronomical observations, please take a look to it before leaving.

A wide angle camera, very sensible to the light (0x0001 lux), has been installed to catch meteors and lightning.
